Hi, as we all know the main game industry is based in the USA, as i live in the Uk this could pose a problem. i know there are UK based companies such as LionHead but i am wondering if abroad companies take onboard people from other contries and allow them to work either from home or have stations based in the UK which work with them.
thank you

As you said there are problems with communication do these "offices" exist though in the uk where they share project

Highly unlikely. Even if you have something to offer that cannot be found anywhere in the US, the constraints (time zones, legal overhead and most importantly the absence of face-to-face communication) make it undesirable for a company to do so. If you would live in a place where a month's salary would only buy you a candy bar in the West, you might have a chance to get some contracting work in programming. The UK obviously is not such a country. However, the UK does has more than a decent video game industry, so it worth to try it closer to home. If you can't make it there, you won't make anywhere.*

What is this hardcore programming you speak of?
